The issue
On certain motorcycles, the primary cup seal in the rear master cylinder could tear. If this were to occur, brake fluid pressure to the rear caliper would be reduced, and the performance of the rear brake would be degraded. This would increase stopping distances and could affect braking control, which could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will replace the rear brake master cylinder piston assembly.
Description (français)
Sur certaines motocyclettes, le joint de la coupelle principale dans le maître-cylindre arrière pourrait se briser. Cela réduirait la pression du liquide de frein au niveau de l'étrier arrière et diminuerait le rendement du frein arrière. Cela augmenterait les distances d'arrêt et pourrait nuire à la maîtrise lors du freinage, ce qui pourrait augmenter les risques d'accident pouvant entraîner des blessures ou des dommages matériels (ou les deux). Correction : Les concessionnaires devront remplacer le piston du maître-cylindre du frein arrière.
